[MOC] September Addon Frenzy (ÖBB / ČSD / MÁV)

[Brickstone_City]

Hi,

Somehow building mania got hold of me the past weeks :0)

 

I wanted a fitting freight train for the Orient Express, so I built a MÁV III / 335:

The boiler of the loco is so low, the main construction is carried by the long Technic bricks outside of the driving wheels. Drive is provided by two Cada M-motors, the cables are led to the hub inside the tender below the cab.
Luckily I found two fitting custom driving rods in my storage. I had the small blind drivers on the tender only in red - so, for the first time I just dunked pieces into paint. It does not matter too much, they are almost completely covered by other pieces in the model anyway.

 

The narrow gauge train (proper 4-wide brick narrow gauge) with class U will be presented elsewhere.
Finally, I managed to use the flippers as suspension springs as planned for a long time.
The first car behind the engine is loosely based on one used for transporting milk preserved at the Austrian railway museum Straßhof. The milk barrels are mostly made of Hogwarts tower parts.

 

Variant MÁV IIIe is displayed as JŽ 125-052 in front of Zagreb main station (my photo, taken in October 2003).

The milk car behind a class 30 (also in my brick portfolio :-)) at Tauchen-Schaueregg (my photo, taken in October 2004).

 

"Vindobona" addon-package for the ÖBB "Blue Lightning" DMU previously shown here, including ČSD class M 296.1 DMU, ÖBB class 2050 Henschel-GM diesel locomotive, orange ÖBB UIC-X AB and dark green two-axled "Spanten"-carriages, as well as dark green ČSD GDR Görlitz-built UIC-Y cars.

 

The window partition at the front of the class M 296.1 was done by stickers. One side features red doors (remaining parts from Schlieren cars), the other a completely tan window section. Both liveries are historically accurate. Since then, I changed the headlights to regular 1x2 plates for a more square shape.

The front decoration of the class 2050 is a dark green sticker on white tiles. The upper parts of the sides are tilted inwards by hinges.

In comparison to the pics above I shortened the roof 1 stud and lowered it. The Spanten car roofs have been changed to Light Bluish Gray.

 

I tried out two UIC-Y roof variants, both weigh a ton.

 

Thanks to a forum user I could get a third Mould King car for my Orient Express train (we split it - 110€ from a yourwobb EU warehouse. I already mentioned that the Orient Express features some of the best value/price ratio) - including 4 pure MOCs it is now a 7-car-Orient Express :0)
This car is also more MOC than MOD. The side walls and roof follow the instructions in principle, the rest does not.
For weight reasons, this car only received a spartan interior. I took the Helmet Ninja Horn Elaborate 11437 as CIWL sign.

The other car of same build with interior. A chain of fairy lights (1€/piece on Amazon) lights the hallway and the compartment of the girl. Funwhole/Lumibricks was not known yet at the time of building, now I could improve the lighting with specialized parts.
The luggage nets are football goals 23969pb004. My favourite is the leg stretched outside the bed :0)

 

The full-length dining car with fake three-axled bogies. One light chain is illuminating each side. Passengers will only arrive later after departure. ;-)

Wow marvelous job @Brickstone_City. Thanks so much for sharing!

While I love all these builds, looking closely there is hardly a LEGO stud in sight. Almost all bricks are clone brands. Might not fit with the theme of this forum.
